Lovely wildlife stamps.

I love all her stamps.

841 - And another UNESCO site from Dai Li but this is in Cambodia.
Angkor is one of the most important archaeological sites in South-East Asia. Stretching over some 400 sq km, and including a forested area, Angkor Archaeological Park contains the magnificent remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century. They include the famous Temple of Angkor Wat and, at Angkor Thom, the Bayon Temple with its countless sculptural decorations. UNESCO has set up a wide-ranging programme to safeguard this symbolic site and its surroundings.
848 - Irina in Bulgaria sends me lots of cards and many of them are the shape of the country like this one.

1222 - Monica in Sweden and Danielle in the USA are fellow bloggers and send me lots of cards - they are my most regular swappers and have become friends over the years. This card from Danielle is really atmospheric.
1221 - Bonnie Jeanne from Pennsylvania sent me a card that I have sent to others - it is from the postcard book 'The Reading Woman' and I love it to bits.
1227 - Amit in India sent me this view of The Valley Of Flowers. I appreciate the scale is probably a bit different but it could easily be a view in the Grampians.
Lots and lots of great postcards and stamps. I like the country shaped card. It's very unique.
